"I was testing Harry's blood today." Peter told him what had happened that night. "You know, Norman mentioned me. According to his information, I was the key figure in solving his family's illness."
"So I was testing my blood to see if there were any defects in Harry's genes that I happen to have," Peter said with a hint of pain.
"I found it in my blood. My cells are mutating."
"What!" Li Jie was now completely dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?
"There is a virus, or rather, an evil symbiotic organism. It is rapidly replicating in my body. I can't find any way to control it. They seem harmless, but I just lost control." Peter's head drooped.
"They are affecting my mind. My thoughts are being controlled by them. They are not simple viruses! You just defeated them, and they are hiding. I don't know when they will appear again to affect me. "
Li Jie knew that the things in Peter's body could not be explained by science. He could use the Maha-Vairocana Seal to get rid of them, or to temporarily suppress them.
However, this could not solve the root of the problem. Li Jie tried to use his energy to examine Peter's body again, but to no avail.
He could not find the symbiotic organism. If Peter said that they were hiding, then it was possible because Peter's spider senses were never wrong.
"Relax, Spider-man. I will help you. I can defeat it once, and I can defeat it twice. Also, we may need help from others. "Li Jie comforted Peter.
In the days that followed, Li Jie spent a period of time almost every day using his inner Qi to examine Peter's body. Once he found any signs of the dark energy appearing, he would immediately defeat it.
However, this was useless. No matter how many times he defeated it, it would appear again. It was constantly entangling in Peter's body.
Peter no longer dared to sleep at home. He was afraid that he would be controlled while he slept. The desire to kill might make him kill the two most important people in the world.
Every night, he could only sneak into the base and fall asleep under the watch of his companions. Peter was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
He also had a big fight with Gwen. He was already a little hysterical.
"Even if he doesn't go crazy because of the virus, he will go crazy because of himself." Frank's conclusion was very reasonable. "We can't count on him to do the research alone. I'll go find Blade and ask Zhan Kailin to help as well. She's an outstanding hematologist."
"Alright, Frank. I also think what you said makes sense. "Li Jie looked at Peter's back in the laboratory and felt uneasy.
The cooperation with Blade last time had left a friendship, and Zhan Kailin was now officially Blade's girlfriend.
The number of vampires was gradually decreasing, and the government had secretly begun to force the injection of purification serum. The "Special Management of Vampires and Humans Act" had not been publicly announced. Perhaps they were waiting for the right time.
As a vampire hunter, Blade's life was much more leisurely now. Vampires no longer dared to swagger on the streets.
It had even become difficult for him to catch a vampire, so he simply started a car repair shop with Whist.
When Li Jie brought Peter to ask for help, Blade readily found Zhan Kailin.
"The situation is more complicated than you think, Spider-man." Zhan Kailin's attainments in hematology and genetics were much higher than Peter's. Otherwise, she would not have been able to research the purification serum.
"This is not a simple lesion or virus. The last time I saw something similar, do you know where it was?"
Zhan Kailin's question made Peter shake his head.
"It was in vampires. They have a special virus in their bodies, and that virus also has hidden energy. If it wasn't for the special substance in Mike's blood that can neutralize the virus and energy, I would not have been able to research the purification serum."
"So, do you have a clue?" Li Jie asked with hope.
"To be honest, the virus in a vampire's body is nothing compared to yours. It's not on the same level at all." Zhan Kailin frowned.
"I need to do more experiments. Spider-man, I'm afraid you'll have to cooperate with me during this period of time."
"Okay, Ms. Zhan Kailin. As long as you need it. "Peter's tone was no longer as cheerful as it was in the past.
Now, Li Jie was no longer in the mood to care about the chaos in New York City. All his energy was spent on finding helpers and solving Peter's physical problems.
That was because the reason he obtained power in the first place was to protect his family and friends.
Of course, it would be best if he could help others within his ability.
In order to research Peter's problem, Zhan Kailin had been working very hard. However, research was the female scientist's hobby.
As the team leader of the purification serum project, she also had a high status in the Osborne Group. She was the company's leading expert in genetics and hematology.
She had her own laboratory and office, and had the right to use all kinds of equipment in the Osborne Group.
Compared to the equipment in Li Jie's base, it was obvious. The Osborne Group's laboratory, which was the world's leading laboratory in genetics and biotechnology, had more advantages.
Zhan Kailin would work overtime every day at night to research and solve Peter's problem.
"Ms. Zhan Kailin, are there any new projects recently?" It was another late night of research. When Zhan Kailin was about to go home at the entrance of the building, she ran into the group's boss, Norman Osborn.
"I'm trying to study the mutation of the purification serum. I hope to find the secret to their longevity from the blood of the Vampires." Zhan Kailin said the words she had already prepared.
At the same time, she recalled that she did not leave anything behind in the laboratory these days, nor did she reveal anything.
And she did use the Vampires' research to cover it up. After confirming that there were no flaws in everything, Zhan Kailin continued. "I think this will be a great opportunity, as long as it can be successful."
"Your research is very valuable. Write a formal application tomorrow. I will provide you with a full set of completely confidential laboratories to prevent any leakage of research." Norman said with a smile, as usual, like an investor who respected science.
"Thank you, Mr. Norman. I will submit the report. "Zhan Kailin politely said goodbye and left the Osborne Building in a hurry.
"Haven't you found any information about those ninjas?" Li Jie's tone was very anxious. He now thought that all the key may lie in Hand and Society.
He had been urging Ceng Chu these days, which put a lot of pressure on the little fatty.
"Really, I'm really sorry, Nightcrawler. All the surveillance is in operation, I entered all the characteristics of the ninjas, but except for false positives, we did not get any useful information. "Ceng Chu did not dare to look back at Li Jie and only dared to stare at the computer.
“QNMD!” Li Jie opened his mouth to curse at Ceng Chu. The problem with Harry was not solved, and now there was a problem with Peter. He was already very annoyed.
Bang! A sturdy iron rod ruthlessly struck Li Jie's abdomen. The way the iron bar exerted force was very scientific. When the force gathered to the maximum, it hit Li Jie's body with the smallest point of contact.
This was a special secondary Adamantium, very hard. The feeling of being hit by this iron can was even more painful than being hit by a bullet.
Li Jie was beaten two steps back and bent a little.
"I know you are worried about Spider-man, but you can't treat your friend like this! If you have any dissatisfaction, I can fight with you! "Frank said as he pointed the iron bar at Li Jie's head.
"The hacker is there to solve the problem, and you keep on complaining! If you're really unhappy, go find a few fugitive murderers and twist their heads off for me! "
Li Jie's anger was also rising, and he wanted to fight with Frank.
However, the other people in the base reacted very quickly. Everyone cut in between the two to stop the conflict from escalating.
"Alright, this is my fault, my fault," Ceng Chu said as he stood in the middle. "Everyone, don't be angry."
"Hacker, this is not your fault. This guy has a problem with his brain. He can't figure out who is friend and who is enemy," Frank shouted at Li Jie.
"Spider-man is my friend, I can't watch him get into trouble like this, and he might even die," Li Jie shouted back.
"This is not a reason for you to speak ill of your teammate. Believe it or not, if you were in my company back then, I would have hung you from a tree and beaten you up," Frank continued to shout.
This was a common method in the military, using arguments or even fighting to vent the anger in the heart.
This was beneficial to the mood, and it was much better to vent the anger in one go than to let it explode in the end.
"Alright, stop, gentlemen," Damon loudly interrupted the two's argument.
"Nightcrawler, if you are really bored, I don't mind if you go out for a walk. That kid called Neptune has been looking for you for many days," Damon pointed at a green figure on the screen.
Neptune was wearing a green diving suit, and there was a sign hanging on his chest that said, "Looking for Nightcrawler, I need your help to defend New York City."
The ugly diving suit, and the sign with colored marker pen hanging on his chest, made him look like a clown.
"Yes, Nightcrawler, you need to go out for a walk," Ming Di agreed with this suggestion. "You can go find this guy, and then mock him, and finally buy a muffin to eat. Maybe you will feel better after that."
Li Jie finally left the base under the persuasion of the others. He felt a little better as he enjoyed the cool night air.
When he arrived at the convenience store where Neptune was, the little guy was already shivering from the cold.
It was already November, and the nights in New York City were cold.
"You want me to buy you a muffin again?" Li Jie pointed at the sign on Neptune's chest. "I can buy you two today."
"No, Mr. Nightcrawler." Neptune had been guarding the place where he had met Nightcrawler for the past few days. Finally, the person he wanted to see had arrived, and he did not want to eat some damned muffin.
When he saw Li Jie, he whispered in a very low voice. "It's about the Ninjas, an evil organization called the Hand Peace Society. They have a secret plan. I know you have been protecting New York, and I need your help."
Neptune David looked at Li Jie, who did not seem to have any reaction, and said in a very serious and pleading tone. "What I said is true, I am not lying to you. There really is such an organization. "
"I know, and I believe you, but there is only one question. How do you know about the Hand Peace Society?" Li Jie's tone was unprecedentedly serious.
